Old Fashion Bar

What Old Fashion Bar does

Old Fashion Bar is a single-location bar and restaurant operating in Zurich, Switzerland, under the legal entity Old Fashion Group AG. The establishment, located at Fraumünsterstrasse 15 in Zurich's old town, markets itself as the oldest bar in the city and operates as a full-service venue serving international and innovative cuisine alongside classic dishes. The kitchen runs continuously through service, supporting lunch, after-work drinks, dinner, and late-evening celebrations, with extended hours to 02:00 on peak nights.

The company serves individual consumers — local residents, tourists, and visitors — seeking a hospitality venue in central Zurich, and supplements its dine-in food and beverage revenue with private event hosting and catering services. It maintains a sister venue, Old Fashion Club, under the same corporate umbrella. The business model is direct-to-consumer, with reservations accepted through the Aleno online booking platform. There is no proprietary technology stack, no mobile application, and no disclosed digital marketing function beyond a bilingual (German/English) website.

The company is privately held, employs approximately 6 people, and operates exclusively within Switzerland. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or financial disclosures are available in the source data. The historical "oldest bar" positioning and the prime central Zurich location constitute the primary identifiable assets, alongside the affiliated Old Fashion Club brand.
